This is the first trip we ever hosted at Halal Travel Guide almost 5 years ago, and it continues to be one of our most popular trips. Here's what you say when you travel with us:
"Best travel guide in town (Perioddt),very considerate of everyone’s travel preferences, you get to interact with the locals and learn about their history. The amazing part is a percentage of the proceeds go towards to help those less fortunate and the planet. In the words of Mohammed Ali- “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”
Travel experience and Sadaqah in one, can’t get better than that. Looking forward to our many more adventures together. Next trip Imma bring the siblings 🙌🏾 iA."

If you need to take an earlier or later transfer than the group, that's not a problem - we can arrange a private transfer for you at a small additional fee.
Arrival/Departure Airport: Sarajevo (SJJ).
These transfer windows have been planned to align with most international flights to Sarajevo Airport. We welcome guests from all nationalities and countries to join the trip and can arrange separate airport transfers where necessary, for an additional fee.
Please familiarise yourself with the Ts&Cs below. It's very important that you have read these before booking your flights, to give yourself the best preparation and protection.
1. A £60 deposit is required to confirm your booking. The deposit is non-transferable and non-refundable.
2. Full payment is required no later than 8 weeks before your trip departure.
3. Once you have made your full payment it is non-refundable and non-transferable. You may sell your space to somebody else should you find you are no longer able to travel.
4. Cancellations less than 10 weeks before trip departure are liable to incur costs. Should you anticipate challenges travelling, please give us as much notice as possible.
5. We strongly recommend you buy travel insurance as soon as making your booking, to protect yourself in case unforeseen circumstances arise and you are no longer able to travel. This should include medical cover and cancellation protection in the event of covid, flight cancellations, illness etc.
6. Entry requirements: It is incumbent upon each traveller to familiarise themselves with the entry requirements to the country they are visiting. This includes visas and covid testing status.
7. The itinerary is a suggested outline of the route we will take and the activities that we'll experience. We will keep it flexible and make changes in the event the weather, or road conditions mean we need to adjust our plans. The same goes for our activity coordinators - in the event they are unwell or unable to attend due to a private emergency, don't worry; we'll arrange a suitable alternative.
8. All guests are screened following booking. Should you not pass the screening process, your deposit will be refunded.
9. You will receive details of the accommodations you'll be hosted at in your welcome pack, after booking. We expect you to research the accommodations in advance so that you know what to expect on the trip, particularly if you are opting for a shared room.
10. Once you are on the trip, there are no refunds, partial refunds or credit refunds.
11. Should your flight be cancelled, it is incumbent upon you to book a suitable alternative. If you do not attend the trip this will be classed as a no-show, and no refunds will be given. (This is where your travel insurance recommended in clause 5 will come in handy!).
One adult ticket/sharing a twin room with another adult.
Please note, if you are a solo traveller, we will partner you with another solo traveller of the same gender. However, if this is not possible, you will be informed and need to take the single room upgrade, which incurs an additional fee.

Choose this option if you're a light (or noisy) sleeper, need your own space to decompress or just like to have your own room :)
